Description

Utsav Sen and co-authors trigger a rust-like cell death in lung cancer in this 2026 study. Non-small cell lung cancer kills more people than any other cancer type. A key enzyme, ribonucleotide reductase, feeds DNA building and runs hot in many tumors.

Blocking that enzyme, the team found, sets off ferroptosis, a death driven by iron and fat damage. The effect held in gene-defined subsets of the cancer, not all of them. Their hunt drew on gene data from over 27,000 real-world tumors. Resistance to targeted drugs is the backdrop. A fresh death route, opened by an old enzyme, offers a new angle of attack.
